Fun place to work
College program intern/ CR (Current Employee), Anaheim, California – May 16, 2013
Pros: free admittance
Cons: disney look
A typical day at work would be taking thousands of pictures a day of many different people. You learn a lot about tolerance and a lot about people being that there are so many different kinds of people from all over the world. All 20,000 cast members work as a team. The hardest part about the job is trying to maintain your character on stage when you're – more... greeted by a Make A Wish child or adult. The best part of working at Disney is making magic. – less

Fast paced and exciting company filled with the smartest coworkers you'll find.
Data Analyst (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – May 10, 2013
Pros: free bagels on wednesday, fantastic coworkers and management, highly competitive benefits and perks for permanent employees
Cons: very hard to break out of contract employee treadmill, difficult to stand out and do extra work from most business teams.
As a somewhat lowly employee, my job was daily maintenance of two reporting dashboards as well as responding to any custom reporting requests on the queue. Of my two managers I had during my tenure, one was phenomenal and one was merely great. My coworkers were all very, very, VERY intelligent and kept a good level of activity without burning up on – more... lots of needless high priority but low importance work. The learning curve is a firehose, but if you master it you'll come away with a high level of knowledge and competence in whatever field you're working in- I feel like I'm very qualified to handle most aspects of the ad operations chain now. – less

Best Job i ever had
Attractions Attendant (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – May 8, 2013
Pros: free disney for me and family, discounts on merchandise and some food, actually enjoying going to work
Cons: hot outdoor conditions, rude people
A typical day for me was alternating between driving boats while spieling a script and land postions which included loading and unloading guests, greeting, and deciding the amount of people on each vehicle using simple math. I gained the ability to talk in front of crowds with confidence and stay calm under high pressure situations. Management was mostly – more... good with exceptions of course. I liked everyone i worked with, friendly and outgoing people. The hardest part about my job was working outdoors, its really humid in the summer but i didn't really mind it. the most enjoyable part of my job were the people. whether it was the people im working with or the guests i meet along the way. – less

Amazing work environment and culture
Web Developer (Former Employee), Burbank, CA – May 6, 2013
Pros: relaxed environment, friendly management
Cons: often short deadlines due to the nature of the business model
The work environment at ABC (division of Disney) was superb. Management was friendly, there was a good sense of team and friendship among co-workers. Management, while insistent upon quality and quantity of work, was not overbearing and in fact was concerned with the well-being of the employees and team-building.

Fun Internship
College Internship (Former Employee), Buena Vista, FL – May 3, 2013
Working for disney was an experience of a lifetime! I did not like working weekends and nights. I met a ton of people from all over. I would check out merchandise for guest and do inventory. I also closed out the register

It's a good summer job, it's a good place to work when you're in college, and it's good if you haven't gone to college for a steady job.
Cast Member (Current Employee), Buena Vista, FL – April 28, 2013
Pros: free park admission, promote from within, networking opportunities
Cons: typically low paying, there's a hardcore union mentality that doesn't always work in your favor, and it gets monotonous
A typical day at work could start at any given time as scheduling is not always consistent. Typically shifts are eight hours, five days a week, but that could range in any direction. Many times you are interacting with hundreds of guest or cast members whether it be face to face or over the phone.

A productive and enjoyable workplace
Seamstress (Former Employee), Jonesville, SC – April 16, 2013
Pros: discounts
Cons: short breaks
I love working for Disney. I learned how to sew. A typical work day consisted of working for 8-10hrs a day. Sometime we would have 12hr days. The people at Disney were friendly and pleasant to work with. The supervisors were great!! The best part of my work day would have to be interacting with the people there. The hardest part of my job would had – more... to been redoing the thread on the sewing machine. – less

JUST AMAZING
Fine Dining Server (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – April 8, 2013
Pros: benefits, job security, fun environment
Cons: management, upward mobility
Disney is an excellent company. They provide an amazing work environment and give employees an opportunity to make the guest experience amazing as well.

The only con to wokring for the company is the lack of upward mobility options. Often employees stay in one position through their entire career at WDW. I wanted a position with more professional opportunities – more... than serving. – less

Fun place to work but field work can be difficult to adjust to
Associate Software Engineer (Current Employee), Glendale, CA – April 4, 2013
Pros: friendly work environment
Cons: poor work/life balance during project field work
The most enjoyable part of would have to be visiting the parks and seeing people of all ages enjoy the hard work you have done. The hardest part would have to be field work. When the deadline to open an attraction is close, schedules get very tight and hours get longer.

Thanks for the review. Do you work for Disney Technology Solutions and Services (DTSS)? I was contacted by a Disney Recruiter for a position in Glendale for DTSS but not sure what the culture and environment is like. Your comments and rating definitely helps!

Pros: work on differant areas of the park
Cons: very demanding work inviroment every day
I worked extensively on new vehicle projects for attractions. Interfaced with engineers on a daily bases. I would head out to an attraction to review issues with new mechanical systems. I helped with field installation of vehicles and power system during test and adjustment phase. I assisted with training of maintenance team for new vehicle restraint – more... and power system. – less
